Looking to grab my first PRS and need some info on some neck shapes and dimensions. Played a couple PRSi at a buddy's house a few weeks back and have been GASing ever since. He's got a Santana model and a Custom with a Pattern neck. The Santana felt great as I like a chunky neck but the Pattern was cool too. How does the "Standard" profile compare to these?

And does anyone have any caliper measurements of PRS necks? Like I said, I'm a chunkier neck kinda guy and as far as depth measurements the lowest I can go is around .83 at the 1st fret. Judging by the measurements on the PRS site I'm good with a Wide/Fat and Pattern but the Wide/Thin is too thin. Where does the Standard fit?

Thanks!
 
Ahh caliper smaliper, none of that really matters. Put one in your hand and feel it, if you find one that feels right, it means more than *ANY* measurement.
